Mini UPS and Power Sensor (RMA-MUPS-SEN)
Step 4: Connect your MUPS to the power source you wish to monitor.
Use only the AVTECH 5V power adapter. Others may damage the sensor.
1. Connect an AVTECH 5V power adapter to the power input
port on the MUPS.
2. Then insert the power adapter plug into the power source
you wish to monitor.
Notice that the Status LED lights up green when your power
source is on.
Step 5: Activate the battery backup.
Push in the red button next to the power port to activate the battery backup. If you don’t
push this button in, the batteries won’t take over when main power is lost.
When you first connect the MUPS to power, allow the batteries to charge for 24
hours before you test or depend on the battery back up.
MUPS Batteries
Do not use alkaline batteries in the MUPS. Use only rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
Your MUPS comes with 3 AAA rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries. When the MUPS is plugged in, it trickle-charges
them.
When you first connect the MUPS to power, allow the
batteries to charge for 24 hours before you test or depend
on the battery backup. When they are fully charged, they
can provide up to 15 minutes of power.
Test the unit regularly to make sure it is fully operational. To test the batteries, unplug the
MUPS from power—making sure the Battery Backup Button is pushed in—and check that the
Status LED is fully lit red. (Dim red may indicate the batteries are partially charged; an unlit
Status LED indicates there’s no charge.)
In the course of normal use, the batteries will eventually lose their ability to hold a charge.
When this happens, you may replace them: unplug the MUPS from main power, pop off the
top cover (with the “MUPS” label) from the unit, and replace the existing batteries with 3 new
AAA rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. Then snap the cover back on and plug the unit back in to
main power.
